I really, really like this yarn. I have used it several times, in several weights, and I have had no real problems with unwinding skeins or pilling as some of the other users reported. Yes, occasionally there is a tangle in the skein, but it's been minimal. Also, I have a sweater I made about 3 years ago that I wear at least once a week during spring, summer and fall that has been machine washed and suffered minimal pilling.
The texture of the yarn, while not exactly 'rustic', is not entirely smooth either, but as long as you know that in advance and plan you project accordingly, it's an excellent value.

I really like the yarn. The softness and the colors. The only problem I am running into is that it pills and I am using the yarn to make finished objects to sell. Any suggestions as to how to stop the pilling?

I hate to give this review because I was excited to get this yarn in the mail. The color was just right for a hat I was making. It was just enough to crochet a hat but as I started working with it the strands of yarn started to separate some. Then when I pickup up the next yarn to make a ball of yarn I noticed my hands were swollen after winding it up. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?

This is my favorite yarn so far. It knits up so soft and makes beautiful baby things. I think I want to try to make something for myself because it is so comfortable. Never had any problems with the yarn. Thanks for such great products and great prices!!

I have to admit that I am a yarn snob. This, however, is clearly a great product for baby things. It acts like the real (wool) thing and is wash and dry. One proviso. I wind my balls into cakes to fit into my yarn bowl. 2 of the 5 were absolutely impossible. I tried one from the inside and the other, outside. The yarn twisted so badly inside with outside, that it was an hour for each. The second I finally trashed!
Will I order more? Yes, but I plan on a hour of wasted time trying to rewind them.

I just ordered yarn in the creme brulee color. The problem is that I was expecting a yellow pastel color and the true color is more of a French's mustard color. very much darker than expected. I will be knitting up a tunic in stockinette so hopefully the color won't be as dark. Color not like the sample.

I like this yarn a lot, it is soft and has good stitch definition. My only complaint is that the color was not very true to the picture on the site. I ordered ivory, seafoam, and flamingo, and both the seafoam and ivory colors were much darker than they appeared in the photo. I don't know whether this is a photography issue or a dyeing issue, but if I had known the true colors I might have chosen different colors for my project.

Comfy Sport is the only yarn that I use for the blankets that I donate to children's hospital's. It continues to be my favorite yarn for preemie's as well.

Beautifully soft with a gentle sheen or luster. Color "Marlin" is a bit more muted in person than it is online, more of a dusty blue than a bright one. The yarn pills and fuzzes terribly while handling it to the point that (Crochet) stitch definition is lost in the halo it creates. I was gifted with several skeins for my birthday from a family friend

I used this yarn to crochet a sweater and cap for my new grandson, using the colors peapod and bison. It was wonderful to work with and the finished garment is beautiful. I'm going to start using this as my go-to yarn for baby items. Soft, beautiful colors, durable..what's not to love?

This yarn is a pleasure to work with. It is so very soft and "Comfy";. I highly recommend using this product, especially for sweaters or baby blankets.

This yarn is excellent for beginners learning to knit clothing, accessories, etc. It's beautiful, soft and easy to work with. Not to mention, it's washable and stretchy. I wish I had known about this a long time ago! I have a new favorite yarn!

So far, so good! I love how this yarn feels. So many times while knitting cotton my hands hurt, but this is so soft!
